Camp Living

As you embark on this new adventure, you may be wondering what it will be like living at camp. What will my cabin look like? Where do I shower? What is the food like? Learn more

Hiking, canoeing, mountain biking and more. Whether it’s two nights or two weeks, there is a trip that will fit your interests. You can hike rugged Isle Royale in Michigan, paddle the pristine waterways of the Quetico in Canada, float the scenic Brule River in Wisconsin, and more; go wherever your curiosity takes you.

To keep us all on our toes, each week we pepper the regular schedule with some special programs. This photo was taken on a Cruiser Day (Wednesdays), when our Logger Village staff hosted an “App Day” bringing popular apps like Temple Run to life and into the real world of our campers.

What Our Campers Say

Thank you for four amazing years at camp. These past few summers have been the best of my life.

It’s the friends I have made at camp that I will remember, and I thank you for giving me that opportunity.”

Matthew, camper from Tennessee

Thanks for the past five years at camp. They have been the best of my life! Thank you so much!

Bryce, camper from Pennsylvania

Thank you so much for everything you have done this year and the six previous years. It means so much to my brother and I. It has been such a wonderful experience and all of you have done a great job. I wish I could’ve spent more time with the camp family in the North Woods. Once again, thank you so much.
